So, I've read that when you want to have a "pro" setup done on a Gretsch you need to find someone who is familiar with Gretsch Guitars to perform it....

I'm wanting to get my G5120 gone over by a tech to make sure the nut is correctly cut and adjusted (maybe even get a new one), adjust the truss rod, dress up the frets a bit and do a general "setup".

I think it plays pretty darn great right now, and am dreaming of how fine it would be if a "pro" went thru it and took it to that next level.

So......any of you Kansas City Area Gretschies have a GUITAR TECH you'd recommend?

Thanks!

Keith George at George's Music is my "doc".

He's SE of KCMO in the Lawson area, and has done work on about all of my Gretsches.

Makes bone nuts from scratch, and does great fret/neckwork. He's a CF Martin authorized repair center too. Been around stringed instruments all his life and picked up the "trade" from his dad.

Great guy, great work, reasonable pricng. Just kinda out in the sticks, and that's fine with me

THANKS! I know that the original George's Music in North Kansas City always had a very good reputation as one of the best, if not, "the best" in the area.....I thought that entire operation had gone by the wayside.

Got any contact info??????

Also, anyone else with other persons...please chime in!

I've been thinking about contacting Seuf's Guitar Repair and seeing if he thinks he is up to the Gretsch/Bigsby type guitar....he was recommended to me by a buddy....anyone know anything about him?

Yep, Keith is carrying on the tradition. No sales, just outstanding repair/set up work.

I'll PM you his phone number

The original Georges Music was in Gladstone, Mo. which is a suburb of Kansas City North. I still have one of their BlueGrass tapes.....somewhere. Back in the '80s I bought a Fender Mustang and a Gibson Firebird Reverse from those kind folks. Good to hear they are still truckin'.
